Will Predator Guard prevent deer from raiding a garden at night? We live on acreage out in the country.

No. 1st night in service I flipped on the outdoor flood light and discovered 4 Blacktail deer munching grass 20' away from this device. They had not been exposed to this before. It's a bit irritating blinking all night. I wonder if it would be more effective if it had a motion detector on off function, like most solar LED security lights.

Rural deer that have not adopted a property as their own grazing zone will be spooked by Predator Guard lights and will stay away. Make sure you move the lights to a slightly new location every few days so the deer don't become accustomed to the lights

I have gotten very good results so far. We have what I call suburb deer. They live in this community traveling down different streets at night. I hung mine up about 3 feet from the ground in the mulberry tree of my front yard. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I now have five of these dispersed around our property and have been using them for about two months so far. We have not seen any deer since we placed them in strategic locations. I also have 4 of another brand, but this is a much better product. We have 10 rural acres and deer were eating everything; I have not been brave enough to remove all of the fences I have protecting some items, but after two months of use, I have been amazed! I do move them periodically. The deer now take a different path; the neighbors see them coming up into their property from below ours. Nothing else has worked this well!

Yes, it works at night but that is very comforting for me. Even though the alarm might sound from a passing deer I like the peace of knowing it picks up everything. This is my third alarm and I will say this one was the simplest to install/set up and has worked great! The other ones worked about 2 years then quit. The sensor located outside is not noticed by visitors and once inside they are shocked when it alarms for an additional visitor passing up the driveway. It was a good purchase!

There are several ways to keep animals away from your garden. If your referring to birds, try running a string tied on wood stakes through your garden and tying pieces of rags along the run. As the wind blows the rags will wave scaring off the birds, a rubber snake or plastic owl ornament may also work. As for deer and rabbits you can go to your local hardware store and purchase some chicken wire and stake it around your garden. Hope this helped a little!

No. Deer will hop this in an instant. This fence is for small to medium dogs. Cats will hop it too. The only way to keep deer out of a garden is to put up a 6' fence... all around. And if so inclined deer will hop that too. The orchards here use 8' fences to keep deer out.

Nothing is deer resistant to any degree short of fending in your plants and garden. lf a deer wants it, they eat it. tra You could get a pet wolf or a large dog to defend the area. Rat traps may piss them off so they go away. If that doesn't work, then a rifle, vegetables, potatoes and some seasoning, and you could make some nice venison stew.

Absolutely, this keeps deer out of our yard. Be careful with neighbors pets or your own pets This works great Crank it up on settings initially and use A/C power cord It will keep squirrels away from feeder as well

We do not recommend any of our chargers to deter bears. When touching a fence, they may become angry and violent. We apologize for any inconvenience.

I don't know about rabbits, but it keeps the deer away. We've had a problem with the sentinel not being completely waterproof and eventually not working when it rains or mists.

Jessica, I think they would work for them too. It makes predators think another predator is there already so it should work. I have not had any problems with the coyotes, bobcats or mountain lions at night since getting them. Still have to watch for them during the daylight though.

The device is "on" in the daytime but I wouldn't imagine that it would be effective for deterring animals as they could visually see that it isn't a predator.

It won't bother the neighbors but you can hear it. It beeps fairly long like 15 beeps or so. There is like 20 second delay before it will activate again. We live in the country and have to unplug it at night because the deer keep triggering it.

I have 2 units in the yard and after a year I have not seen any deer in the yard. They seem to make a beeline around it. No other critters either. But birds stay around. Give it months to be effective. The animals need to be "trained" to stay away.

Absolutely! It's a powerful device but you must have a wire(s) close enough, low enough, or high enough for the intruders to come in contact with if they're of the mind to get into your pond. Look up on youtube how to install an e-fence. Very easy! It's the only (and I mean ONLY) thing that's ever kept deer out of my garden.

I bought it for the Deer,They don't seem to pay any mind no more.It works better if you plug into AC outlet.Eat batteries kind fast.

??? Well, the Optex will detect them and then you can shoo the deer away. Or are you saying that you don't want to detect deer? There is no way to tell a monitor that you want it to detect THIS but not THAT. Is that what you are asking?

I would suggest 4 traps for half an acre. The most important put them as far as possible from what you want to protect.

The only thing you have to worry about with deer is, when they jump over it, they have a tendency to "hit it", at least in our experience, and you need to check it depending on what type of posts and "holders" you use; as to pets, they'll know it real quick; we have 3 dogs, they know where to duck and how far to duck or find another path. ANY animal can sense the electricity in it - ANY animal! They'll stay away from it; if they don't, they'll learn on the first time.
